I believe that Attentive Mobile has predatory contracts with zero concessions. They may have a high growth rate, but I'd invite researchers to figure out how many of those companies are tied to a contract for up to 2 years that they cannot break with any form of concessions. When you try to talk to anyone higher than a young entry level sales person, you do not get a response. Once they have your money and contract, the customer service is poor and with my experience trying to solve real world problems companies are facing this year, Attentive Mobile does little to help their clients succeed in their goals overall.
I would not recommend Attentive Mobile to anyone in the relationship driven internet marketing world for the main reason that they become cost prohibitive over time. I believe they only want to bury you deeper in a contract when you want to make changes for the better of your business concerning SMS management. I would actually advise people AGAINST using Attentive Mobile if they asked me about my experience. Not because they aren't user friendly, but because I think their legal team runs the show and I think they do not do anything to truly help their clients grow as an overall entity. DO NOT GET INTO A CONTRACT WITH THEM EVER. You're better off getting discount on the non-contract version.

We use Attentive Mobile to speak with customers and inform them of product launches and promos. We find this to be a great personalization tool! Would love to tap into the transactional text messages as we go into 2021.
  • Great UI
  • Easy to use
  • Great ROI
  • More communication on ways to improve
  • More structure on calls with our account manager
  • More clarity on insights and new ideas
I think attentive is great if you're aiming to grow you business and know that SMS is right for your customers. I believe that it is a costly investment but the return is great!
  • Great return on our promos
  • Costly; would love if it was more affordable
  • Very easy to use
Attentive Mobile is much easier to use and easier to pull performance metric reports. I wish it was a bit easier to edit pop-ups and know what the total audience number is when you create a segment.
Very easy to set up flows and individual campaigns. Creating a segment is also very easy and all fields are very intuitive.
Fast and easy to communicate with. I wish we went over more insights and analytics on our monthly calls with our account manger. This would really give us the push that we need in order to best utilize the platform as a whole.

We use Attentive as our SMS platform. We’ve used them for about 3 years. Highly recommend. Great CSM service and definitely trailblazers in this space. They have a ton of resources and best practices
  • Account management
  • Platform interface
  • They’re growing quickly so account management changes
Being a small brand, it’s been great working with Attentive. They provide white glove experience and also have great documentation.
  • SMS platform
  • 5x return

We use Attentive Mobile as our SMS marketing platform, and several clients have adopted it. We have built-in systems for email, social, and search, but Attentive Mobile came in as a great third-party for us to enable SMS campaigns. A couple of our marketing team members manage the accounts for our clients.
  • Easy-to-use dashboard
  • Ability to create/customize different creatives
  • Helpful customer service and client support team
  • Agency billing is a little messy
  • Reporting is all Excel based, not interactive
  • Occasional (rare) bugs in the UI
Attentive Mobile is great for those who actively want to build and talk to their community. The goal is to send two messages per week to optimize revenue while balancing out unsubscribes. If a client has trouble with content or finding appropriate marketing messages to send, Attentive Mobile might not be a good fit.
  • Some clients seeing 50x ROAS (which plateaus eventually)
  • All clients making money
While ManyChat is specific to Facebook Messenger, my experience in their platform made it very easy to hit the ground running with Attentive Mobile. With the policy changes in the Messenger world, we have mostly abandoned that and moved to SMS for a direct line to customers. Attentive Mobile has much stronger ROAS with SMS than ManyChat had with Facebook Messenger.
